Office Technology Explained: What Is Digital Printing?

Digital printing involves transferring a digital image onto a surface. It can be done with various tools, from a simple office copier or printer to complex rotogravure printing machines like you see printing magazines.

Digital printing (or digital presses) works by sending ink droplets from a printing machine to a chosen surface in a pattern that matches a predetermined image. 

Files containing different images go directly to the printing machine, which transfers them to a surface that can vary from paper and cardboard to fabric and plastic.   

Even though digital transformation reduces the need for paperwork, digital printing is still an integral part of everyday life.

Speaking of digital transformation, we want to make sure you know exactly what your business needs as our tech world continues evolving. We’re explaining office technology and what digital printing can do for your business.

Digital printing uses high-resolution digital-based files to produce images on paper. This is in contrast to traditional offset printing, which relies on giant metal sheets that host the image.

You probably have a personal ink jet printer at your house that you use for small home digital print jobs. The type of digital printing service that Solo Printing offers uses the same concept, except we’re able to produce much higher quantities at a much higher quality by experienced printing pros.

Solo Printing is proud to announce the installation of our new Xerox Color Press 1000i and the start of a new Digital Printing department. This type of print is an ideal solution for small to medium-sized print runs that require quick turnaround times. It also has a cost savings benefit compared to traditional offset printing because it does not require the high setup costs or printing plates.
